We establish new combinatorial transcendence criteria for continued fraction expansions. Let $\alpha = [0; a_1, a_2,...]$ be an algebraic number of degree at least three. One of our criteria implies that the sequence of partial quotients…
In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions with deterministic terms are…
In this paper, we clarified the relationship between continued fractions, determinants, and identities, making it easier to apply these methods systematically in other settings. In particular, we studied finite continued fractions from the…
By using a jump transformation associated to the Romik map, we define a new continued fraction algorithm called odd-odd continued fraction, whose principal convergents are rational numbers of odd denominators and odd numerators. Among…
Fundamental to the theory of continued fractions is the fact that every infinite continued fraction with positive integer coefficients converges; however, it is unknown precisely which continued fractions with integer coefficients (not…
We prove a suite of dynamical results, including exactness of the transformation and piecewise-analyticity of the invariant measure, for a family of continued fraction systems, including specific examples over reals, complex numbers,…
For regular continued fractions (CFs), points with finite expansions are exactly the rationals and, by Lagrange's theorem, points with eventually-periodic expansions are exactly the roots of non-degenerate quadratic equations with integer…
In this paper, we use a notion of ratio based on a division algorithm, to extend to a symmetric cone the definition of a continued fraction in its more general form. We then give a criteria of convergence of a non ordinary random continued…
A well known theorem of Lagrange states that the simple continued fraction of a real number $\alpha$ is periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational. We examine non-periodic and non-simple continued fractions formed by two…
We prove a two-parameter family of continued fraction identities for $\arctan(p/q)$, where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers with $p\le q$. For every such pair, the identity \[ \arctan\frac{p}{q} =…
We extend the close interplay between continued fractions, orthogonal polynomials, and Gaussian quadrature rules to several variables in a special but natural setting which we characterize in terms of moment sequences. The crucial condition…
We first survey the current state of the art concerning the dynamical properties of multidimensional continued fraction algorithms defined dynamically as piecewise fractional maps and compare them with algorithms based on lattice reduction.…
Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…
This paper aims to introduce high school students to the intriguing world of continued fractions, a mathematical concept that provides a unique representation of numbers. The study focuses on the exploration and development of the…
Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…
We prove an analog of Lagrange's Theorem for continued fractions on the Heisenberg group: points with an eventually periodic continued fraction expansion are those that satisfy a particular type of quadratic form, and vice-versa.
The theory of continued fractions has been generalized to l-adic numbers by several authors and presents many differences with respect to the real case. In the present paper we investigate the expansion of rationals and quadratic…
In this paper we present a convergence theorem for continued fractions of the form $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$. By deriving conditions on the $a_{n}$ which ensure that the odd and even parts of $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$ converge, these same…
In a previous paper, we presented several extensions of ACP with conditional expressions, including one with a retrospection operator on conditions to allow for looking back on conditions under which preceding actions have been performed.…
In this paper, we introduce the polynomial continued fraction, a close relative of the well-known simple continued fraction expansions which are widely used in number theory and in general. While they may not possess all the intriguing…
